Donna Corley, OTR

My Mission…

To provide a more intensive therapy approach, I opened the doors to a small clinic in Greenville serving the upstate of South Carolina.

My mission is to provide quality, effective, and compassionate Occupational Therapy services with the goal of facilitating increased success and independence in the skills, routine, and activities of everyday life.

My Philosophy…

I believe that movement and sensory input enhances learning and that the development of all skills starts with the body’s understanding of the world through our senses, movements, and emotional responses.

When this understanding is heightened, pathways for greater neural connections are made which sharpen the brain/body response. These interconnections increase our ability to perform daily tasks with ease and independence, allowing for greater life success.

I provide excellent therapy, based in knowledge and “just right” challenges, to build success and promote the skills to thrive.

Testimonials

  • "As an overwhelmed parent, unsure of what to do next, I am so thankful that I found Donna. I could tell from our initial contact that she was kind, caring and knowledgeable. Every interaction has been positive, impactful and meaningful. Donna was able to connect with my son from the very first meeting and he looks forward to every session with anticipation not dread. As a parent, that puts my mind at ease. She is very patient and takes the time to understand my child’s unique personality and needs and has designed her approach accordingly. Each session is creative and engaging and my son shares what he is doing and learning. She is able to integrate fun activities into her therapeutic exercises so that he doesn’t even know that he is working. Donna is exceptional at communication with me after each session and even in between. She provides me with materials and resources so that I can work with my son at home. I have seen improvement in so many areas and I know that Donna is the reason for this. I would recommend her without hesitation."

  • "Donna has been so wonderful to work with. She puts so much thought into her therapy sessions and is a wealth of knowledge. I have taken my son to many different providers, and we have seen the greatest and most meaningful improvement with Donna. She is very passionate about her job and stays on top of the research. She has been an absolute blessing to our family!"

    Jennifer (Parent)

  • "Donna Corley is an excellent occupational therapist! She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, well established in the OT field along with being very accommodating when scheduling appointments (after six months of wait lists we were booked immediately). She tailored each session to my daughter's needs as we progressed through therapy. After each session, I left with a new easy skill to practice at home that helped with regulation and skill development. Beyond OT, Donna is well versed in current brain based research and other therapies that fall outside the typical realm of OT. Donna has a gentle demeanor and made each session very enjoyable for my ten year old. We found OT to be the missing link in a storm of diagnoses and therapies. My daughter cried as she graduated from OT as she had so enjoyed her time with Ms. Donna. (5/5 stars!!!)"
